First seen May 17, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find out how many people over 75 who visit the emergency department have needs for palliative care (care that focuses on comfort and quality of life) and whether those needs are written down in their medical records. Researchers will talk to patients and review their records to see if there is a gap. The goal is to improve care and reduce unnecessary hospital visits.
